Is there a LD_PRELOAD-like mechanism on windows, by which you can intercept all open-like library calls? <http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/nt/DLL_PRELOAD/> suggests there isn't one. Why does MS not provide a compiler fully capable of working in the Interix environment in the first place, by the way? <mode="snide remark">Can't you just use GCC on Interix?</mode> I suppose you can work around this by putting LN_S='cp -p' in a suitable config.site file. Yes, I know that's an ugly workaround, but I'm running out of ideas here, sorry.
